sition within the disks, where they are se-
curely held throughout the operation'of the
mill.
In the foregoing description I have shown
5 the preferred form of my invention; but I do
not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that
modifications may be made therein without
departing from the spirit or sacrificing the
advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve
io the right to make such changes as fall within
the scope of my invention.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is-
1. In a windmill, the combination with a
15 reciprocating rod and means for imparting
motion thereto, of a recessed disk at one end
thereof, a flange inclosing said disk, a pump-
rod extending into the recess, a sleeve upon
said rod, an arm thereto extending below the
flange and a plate on the arm overlapping 20
said flange, whereby the rod is secured with-
in the disk but said disk is permitted to ro-
tate.
2. In a windmill, the combination with a
tube and a rod extending through and slid- 25
ably mounted within said tube; of a recessed
disk at the lower end of both the tube and
the rod, a flange inclosing each disk, a pump-
rod extending into the recess of each disk,
and means upon each rod for engaging the 30
flange of its disk, but permitting rotation of
said disk.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
ANDREW MORRISSON.
